We are learning to investigate some significant earthquakes that have occurred in New Zealand and other countries.
We will demonstrate our understanding of this when we can:
- name at least two magnitude 7 or more earthquakes that have occurred in New Zealand and one from another country
- show the area/areas affected on a map
- name the tectonic plates involved
- written a report for each quake which includes information about:
- magnitude
- reported damage
- injuries and fatalities (deaths
- main problems during the disaster
- a brief summery of one survivors story
- main changes to the area since the quake
